Method of making a surface treating article and such a surface treating article

Abstract

A surface treating article including a surface treating member and a fastener including a fiducial. The present invention also provides a preferred method of making a surface treating article that includes to a method of sensing the location of a fasteners on a surface treating web and thereafter cutting the surface treating web around the fastener to provide a surface treating article.

What is claimed is:  
     
       1. A surface treating article, comprising: 
       a) a surface treating member, and  
       b) a fastener on said surface treating member including a drive member, wherein said drive member includes a distal end, wherein said distal end includes a fiducial, wherein said fiducial includes a planar first reflective surface, a non-refleclive surface, and a planar second reflective surface, wherein the second reflective surface occupies a different plane than the first reflective surface, and wherein the non-reflective surface is at an angle relative to the first reflective surface and the second reflective surface.  
     
     
       2. The surface treating article of  claim 1 , wherein said first reflective surface and said second reflective surface are parallel. 
     
     
       3. The surface treating article of  claim 1 , wherein the surface treating member comprises an abrasive member, and wherein said abrasive member includes a working surface and a back surface opposite the working surface. 
     
     
       4. The surface treating article of  claim 3 , wherein the working surface comprises a coated abrasive. 
     
     
       5. The surface treating article of  claim 3 , wherein the working surface comprises a non-woven surface.
